Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1976 Barbados $10 Independence Silver Proof coin is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on November 30, 1966. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized image of a Bajan tramcar, which was a symbol of the island's transportation system during the colonial era, along with the inscription "INDEPENDENCE 1966-1976" and the coat of arms of Barbados. This design was created by Barbadian artist and sculptor, Karl Broodhagen, and it is not found on any other coin issued by the Central Bank of Barbados.
